‘What Is A Woman?’ Reaches No. 1 For Streaming Documentaries On Rotten Tomatoes

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh’s hit documentary “What is a Woman?” hit the number one spot on Rotten Tomatoes for streaming documentaries on Sunday — a year after it was released. 

Under the June 2023 “Best Documentary Movies at Home” category on the movie review site, “What is a Woman?” beats out other more recently released documentaries that rounded the top five. 

“Congrats to [Matt Walsh] for your well -deserved receipt of this year’s Streisand Effect Grand Prize,” DailyWire+ host Dr. Jordan B. Peterson tweeted to Walsh.

The news comes as the documentary has had a milestone week, with The Daily Wire posting it to Twitter for free — with the tweet garnering more than 160 million views. The Daily Wire initially planned to stream “What is a Woman?” on the platform for 24 hours. But Twitter labeled the documentary “hateful conduct” and restricted its visibility because of two instances of supposed “misgendering.” A few hours before its release, Twitter CEO Elon Musk insisted it had been a mistake, yet the film was saddled with restrictions when it aired. Early Friday, Twitter’s tag restricting the visibility of “What is a Woman?” was removed, allowing Twitter users to like and retweet the documentary. Musk tweeted out the film to his 140 million followers.

On Saturday, Walsh called out the media bias surrounding his documentary with a screenshot of the audience and critic review scores of the film, noting that not a single legacy media publication reviewed “What is a Woman?” — despite the documentary racking up tremendous viewership.

“The film has been seen by millions of people but still only six movie critics have dared to review it,” Walsh posted. “And none of them are from major mainstream publications.”

The tweet shows a screenshot of the film’s Rotten Tomato scores. With the general audience, more than 10,000 reviews landed the film at 86%. But there are only six reviews from critics, totaling a score of 83%.

Despite the high viewership of the film and it reaching the top spot among the most popular documentaries on Rotten Tomatoes, none of the leading critics have reviewed it, including reviewers from The Atlantic, The Boston Globe, NPR, BuzzFeed News, Wall Street Journal, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, and many more. Notably, many of those same outlets have covered the buzz and related news surrounding “What is a Woman?”

‘Unbelievable Aggression By China’: House Intel Chairman Responds To Chinese Military Provocations Against U.S.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said the United States is seeing “unbelievable aggression” from communist China directed at Western nations.

Turner’s comments come after a Chinese fighter jet flew directly in front of a U.S. reconnaissance plane over the South China Sea last weekend, and a Chinese warship came within 150 yards of a U.S. Navy destroyer on Saturday.

“Well, what we’re seeing is an unbelievable aggression by China,” Turner told ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday. “If you look at the balloon that flew over the United States, the Chinese police stations, the aggressiveness against our both planes and ships in international water, it goes right to the heart of what President Xi said when he stood next to Putin in Russia, where he said, they’re trying to make change that had not happened in 100 years.”

“Well, that change is the, you know, 100 years ago, World War I and World War II,” he said. “That was about democracy versus authoritarianism. They’re trying to, you know, flex their muscles and advance authoritarianism. We need to stand strong, and certainly this administration needs to stand strong against this type of coercion.”

Host Martha Raddatz asked Turner what standing up to “this type of coercion” looks like.

“I think it means calling them out. I mean, this is unacceptable,” he said. “And when you have, for example, a balloon that transits all across the United States, and the administration doesn’t respond until the game’s over, until it’s over the Atlantic, you start — and when you have police stations that have been operating within the United States, that took forever in order for them to take action, you get this sort of sense of permissiveness, that I think the administration needs to step up and make clear that China has identified itself as an adversary, and we’re going to treat it as such.”

"What we're seeing is an unbelievable aggression by China.”
